TAKAMAZ XT-8MY SIGMA CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe machine is equipped with a FANUC Series 0i-TF controller, a specialized control system designed for turning operations that supports positioning, linear interpolation, circular interpolation, and advanced threading capabilities including multi-threading and variable lead threading. The machine features a 20-inch swing over bed with a maximum turning diameter of 12 inches and maximum turning length of 20 inches, making it suitable for mid-range precision turning applications. The spindle operates at 4,000 RPM with a 3-inch bore, accommodating various workpiece sizes and allowing material passage through the spindle hole. The 12-station turret provides efficient tool indexing for multiple operations without manual tool changes, enhancing productivity for job shop applications including drilling, turning, grooving, and threading. A tailstock is included for supporting longer workpieces during turning operations, providing additional stability and precision. The FANUC 0i-TF controller delivers fast cycle times through advanced CNC and servo technologies, featuring smart servo control for optimized spindle and servo performance in real time. The system supports manual and automatic operation modes with comprehensive programming capabilities, including canned cycles and custom macros for simplified part programming. Additional control features include thermal displacement compensation, enhanced turning capabilities such as bi-directional and eccentric turning, and chatter suppression technology beneficial for long overhung tools and shaft work.
